About The Book

The Bear sits before a jury of his peers, but for Thomas Bruin, that means betrayal at every turn. When your whole life is a lie, who can you trust to stand as a witness? Even if Bruin survives his fraud trial, the Sword of Damocles still hangs above him. Decades ago, he cut a deal to save his world from alien invaders—and now the terms have come due. As questions rise about Bruin’s loyalties, a new Oort Commander arrives with a shocking revelation: not only is Bruin’s past catching up with him, but the Commander is his son.
